We’ve been watching a couple of REOs on Huntington, and had a set of Padres tickets riding on the outcome – what would be the combined total of the two sales prices?

Here is a link to the original post:

6344 Huntington, Carlsbad

4 br/4.5 ba, 3,815sf  YB: 2005

HOA/MR fees = $401/month

SP:  $1,300,000 6/07

LP:  $805,100  2/09

SP:  $776,000  4/09  DOM = 34

 

6363 Huntington, Carlsbad

4 br/4.5 ba, 3,815sf  YB: 2005

SP:  $1,099,500 4/05

LP:  $809,900  2/09

SP:  $789,900  4/09  DOM = 13

 

The combined total of SPs is $1,565,900!

Here were the closest guesses:

Local Boy is the winner of four Padres tickets, guessing within $900 of the total!

Here is the youtube video tour of the two houses:

    Can’t believe the 6344 sold for less and it has more upgrades with complete landscape. What the heck the buyer(s) was thinking paying more for the other house. Knife catcher!

    I was was too pessimistic. I’m before my time, an enigma in my own life. 🙂

    Man, I suck. At least it looks like we are running out of knife catchers.

    6344 eventhough has more upgrades, the backyard is smaller and no privacy at all (there’s a walking trail behind it).
    Whereas the 6363 has huge backyard with view.

    Wow–I guess my dartboard is more accurate that I had thought! Ironically enough, I have on my list of things to do today: “Buy Padres Tix”- I’ll go ahead and cross that one off! By the way Jim–Thanks for organizing these little contests and for putting out such a fantastic Website/Blog–It is not only fun, but very informational! Congrats on the recent publicity as well!

    Congrats, LB.

    Luckily you consider Padres tix a prize and not a penalty like I would. 🙂
